BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

A good book is a good book it’s as simple as that! I try to catch up with some reading as often as I can. But I must confess after the birth of the internet my reading habits has somewhat took a beating. But still, when push comes to shove, forced to choose between good book and a nights out clubbing with rowdy friends I’d gladly pass the latter especially if I am on a roll in the reading department when the book is one of those you just simply can’t put down until you are done.

The book I’m taking about this time is no juicy mystery murder. No, it’s not about love gone wrong either. No deceits, no one got betrayed. No, sex, lies, scandals no video tapes! No body got killed and above all no creature great or small got harmed in the process of making the book…. errr...I think! Still, that’s my point. A good book is a good book regardless the topic. What’s the book yours truly is talking about then. It is simply an idiot book!

No… silly... I am referring to the book title! You know one of those many Idiots’ Guide books and I must confess… I love Idiot’s guide book, I kindda dig them. I find Idiot’s guide book cool, there I said it out loud... so sue me, bite my head off already if you must! This one is titled... The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Getting out of Debt.

No one got harmed true, except my ego and I still got a little ding on my self-esteem. But, that’s good. I mean a ding every now and then to one’s self-esteem is a good thing after all me think, "a life not examined, is a life not worth living" It is true you know, not all debts are bad debts and no… it is not an attempt to make myself feel better here but seriously… if you got the time check out the book ...

I’m not going to talk at length what you can find and learn from the book because you will have to do it all on your own! All I will say is this, the mind is like a parachute if you refused to open it you will crash and plunge ever so quickly and will only find that it’s too late for any attempt of rescue to safe you from falling to a possible certain disastrous end. Times are bad, the recession is going to be around longer than expected. More and more people are getting laid off from their jobs. These are difficult time and people are feeling it all over the world. Moral are getting lower than low.Don't get me wrong, I am not cheering you on to accumulate as much debts as you can no…no…no… that’s financial suicide. If I was to quote one line from the book it would be; “If you are drowning in debts that does not make you a bad person, you just took a wrong turn”

On that note this is my two cents take; Good thing about making a wrong turn, you can reverse, recalculate, put your feet firmly on the pedal, reduce speed just for good measure than start again for the road ahead.

Easier said than done sure… but better late than never!
